Bug with water bottles

[HawKeYeIII3]

After the update, I can't get bottled water of any kind.
Is it no longer possible to put plain clean water in a bottle and drink from it? Anyone else have this bug?
It is written on some water bottles that I can only clean it in a microwave? what kind of ♥♥♥♥ is that supposed to be? :)
I open a new orange soda bottle, empty it and fill it with clean water, I can't drink it either.

So are you unable to fill the bottles or are you just unable to drink them?

If you have mods enabled , disable them and see if it solves the problem.

Fill yes but don't drink.

I have no mods installed.

Will try other bottles again.
But it looks like you should disinfect bottles in the microwave beforehand. That's what it says on the bottles. Only that makes no sense.

If I have a new previously closed bottle of orange juice and I drink it empty, why can't I drink water from it like I did before the update?

Maybe the setting got changed in the menu? By default you drink from water bottles in your inventory automatically, so they do not have the option, unless you checked it manually.

Are you actually getting thirsty with bottles of water in your inventory?

[=JpS=Red5]

I noticed that I cannot drink from water bottles unless the character is at least slightly thirsty. Otherwise, a character can drink a can or bottle or soda, from a sink, etc at any time.

I do have a few mods installed, but the only one I can see that relates to water bottles is Authentic Z (it is supposed to allow water bottles to be attached to back packs, but I have not seen that feature work yet).

Same here. I noticed water could no longer be purified in a bucket placed on stove and apparently only microwaves will do it. However whenever I place any item with water in my inventory it becomes an empty item - water bottles, cooking pots etc. I don’t get thirsty though but can’t cook anything requiring water.

[HawKeYeIII3]

I can now explain most of the problems.
Everything that is not a water drink but a drink with values
which also contain food. You can drink these drinks even if you can't drink bottled water because it also adds food value.

I can currently clean water on the campfire and grill
with a big pot.

This is happening on my game too. Every time I fill ANY empty bottle with any non-tainted water it gets a checkmark "Contents can only be purified on a microwave".

However puting the bottles on microwave and heating it up for lengthy time spams does nothing to remove the "Contents can only be purified on a microwave" status.

Now, I can't be certain of this, but I think it started to apply to all empty water bottles AFTER I acquired an empty bleach bottle.

[HawKeYeIII3]

With the description "Contents can only be cleaned in a microwave.

I think that has something to do with the fact that since the new update you can fill the bottles with gasoline.

update 41.73
- Allow empty bottles to store gasoline.

Maybe that only applies to bottles that actually contained gasoline.
But the description always comes.

it's not some crazy mystery or a bug

it's this:

plastic bottles full of tainted water can only be purified in a microwave because otherwise they would melt

there is currently no mechanic for melting a plastic bottle - so all that happens if you try to purify a plastic bottle of water in a stove is that it won't purify

the tooltip for plastic water bottles has been changed to always say that the contents can only be purified in a microwave - but if you fill any bottle with tainted water, it will gain 2 red tooltips - 1 saying it's unsafe, and the other saying what it can be purified in (glass bottles say oven or fire, but that includes a microwave - plastic bottles specifically say microwave)

it's fine - it's normal

the only issues people may be encountering will likely either be to do with mods, or stuff from older saves - or possibly from misunderstandings

[Drizzt]

also - your character will only be allowed to drink water from a container if they are actually thirsty (moodle showing) - it just always gives you the option to drink from a tap

you can always drink liquids that have food content, since you are allowed to overeat - but the game does not let you over hydrate (although there's another possibility for a fun/dumb way to die lol)

Thank you for your detailed information. Perhaps it would be better if the description for a microwave is only there if there is dirty water in it.

Then all you need is a description. Please don't drink :)

A bottle of clean water shouldn't say anything except Cheers.

Tryo to put a plastic bottle filled with water onto any common stove and just watch what happens. Question answered.^^

So...just to confirm, all this means that we now can't drink from a bottle of soda if its emptied and then clean water is put in there WITHOUT purifying it for some reason? Cause a bit of sugar from the soda isn't going to make the water tainted. That's just kind of dumb. Also a balance issue.
